Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4G Lens

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4G Lens
The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4G is a legendary, professional-tier short-telephoto prime lens engineered for full-frame FX-format Nikon F-mount DSLRs. Frequently described as the gold standard for portrait photography, its slightly compressed focal length is perfectly optimized for flattering facial proportions. When paired with DX-format cropped sensor models, it provides a powerful 127.5mm equivalent focal reach. By marrying an ultra-bright f/1.4 aperture with advanced Nano Crystal coatings and an ultrasonic autofocus system, this premier optic delivers tack-sharp subject rendering that melts into an exquisitely soft, cinematic background.

Legendary f/1.4 Portrait Optics & Coating Matrix
Ultra-Fast f/1.4 Aperture: The bright f/1.4 maximum aperture excels when shooting handheld in low ambient light and gives you extensive custody over razor-thin depth-of-field isolation to make your subjects dramatically pop from their surroundings.

Nano Crystal & Super Integrated Coatings: Optical elements are treated with Nikon’s flagship Nano Crystal Coat alongside a Super Integrated Coating (SIC). This dual-layer defense systematically neutralizes internal reflections, surface flare, and ghosting, preserving rich micro-contrast and accurate color fidelity when shooting directly into backlight or studio key lights.

9-Blade Rounded Diaphragm: Outfitted with a rounded nine-blade aperture structure that yields a creamy, organic out-of-focus background quality (bokeh) with perfectly circular specular highlights.

High-Speed SWM Autofocus & Internal Focusing
Silent Wave Motor (SWM): Driven by Nikon’s core ultrasonic coreless motor to deliver rapid, pinpoint, and near-silent autofocus tracking that accommodates both critical high-resolution portrait sessions and quiet video acquisition.

Internal Focusing (IF) Architecture: Features an advanced IF design where only internal lens elements move during adjustments. The overall physical length of the lens barrel remains completely constant during operation, stabilizing the camera’s center of gravity and accelerating autofocus response times.

Full-Time Manual Focus Override: Supports immediate, seamless manual focus corrections simply by rotating the focus ring at any time—even during active AF tracking—with no physical switch toggling required.

Included Accessories
Dedicated Lens Hood Included: Ships complete with its original matching bayonet lens hood, meticulously engineered to block stray, off-axis light from causing internal flare while acting as a robust physical shield to safeguard the front glass element.

Front & Rear Caps Included: Includes standard front and rear lens caps to securely protect the premium optical surfaces from dust, fingerprints, and debris during transport or storage.
